What is recorded here

Situated on edge of ridge, overlooking raised beach and sea to E. The NMI topographical file records three stones at the site, but only two are now visible. The two stones are large, shaley slabs set 9m apart. The N stone is the smaller (H 1.8m, 0.9m by 0.4m in section), orientated NW-SE. The S stone (H 2.9m, 1.2m by 0.3m in section) is also orientated NW-SE. The above description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. See the attached view from N Date of upload: 17 July 2007
